Exactly...Flee from police and then get in a scuffle with them is asking to get shot.

I imagine that the emphasis will be on the kid “fleeing”, and not on the struggle AFTER he fled. And while it is probably a homicide (unless the kid committed suicide), it is probably also a justifiable homicide.

I wish every cop had a K9 with him.Let the dog do the hard work,a little hand to mouth combat will usually settle down most perps.
